First off, I knew it was fake.  As soon as I saw the picture was actually a Flash file I closed it.  I hate crap like this.  Just proves Neowin is full of geeks.  ;)

hehe I did the same thing, closed it as soon as I saw it was flash :p

didn't scare me, i clicked it and thought this is some sort of joke because mod's haven't deleted it, clicked it, saw her loading slowly, i started laughing because i immediatly thought that this was meant to make me ****ed off because it was loading as it would 56k, then the scary face came up and I was laughing so I neva really got scared. :woot: :woot: :woot: :woot:

least I can say I was closer to seeing her topless than most other people :p

Not thinking anyone would be dumb enough to post yet another screamo "joke", I figured the joke would be that it would just stop loading halfway through and never finish. But... since I had the speakers up extra loud after playing FEAR (and yes, its kinda a scary/creepy game to begin with...), it pretty much scared the crap out of me and ****ed me off. Oh, and its midnight here... good job.

    • Yeah, this is absolutely nothing new and EA have done it before. Burnout Paradise, released in 2008, had dynamic advertising billboards that were updated via the internet and targeted people based on location and what EA knew about them from their profile. It was particularly notable for the fact that the Obama presidential campaign ran ads in the game, in an attempt to reach a younger audience who didn't watch broadcast TV any more. It was by no means the first though. Battlefield 2142 from 2006 had the same thing. In fact, Neowin wrote a story about it back then. https://www.neowin.net/news/ba...-in-game-ads-clarification/
    • This is obviously aimed at the education where Apple has lost so much ground to Chromebooks in the last few years, but unless they come up with a comparable management system for education why would anyone switch back?
    • Here's how we arrived at that claim: Note that this is just Play Store downloads. The app is also available on the Galaxy App Store
    • Google Play states the app had more than 50 million downloads. What other metric do you suggest should be used?
    • MSN defined our generation in some ways, kind of like Snapchat and TikTok have done for future generations. I have great memories of the MSN era in the late 90s / early 2000s. In the UK everyone seemed to come home from School and go on MSN for the evening. We didn't really have mobile phones then, so other than going and knocking on your friends door it was a totally new way of interacting with people. I also loved how I could talk to people I’d met playing online games from around the world. Inviting people to NetMeeting and messing about with the shared white board and webcams was pretty fun, even if webcams only ran at a couple of fps over dial-up. All the random things you could do with MsgPlus! were really fun - I suspect that made a few people jump with /shello randomly blasting Mr Hankey out their speakers! Maybe I’m just nostalgic, however I do feel the internet and computers were more fun back then.
